Freelap timing systems explained - 2023 product line 

Glad to hear you like the video. To answer your question, you can totaly time the 60m sprint from your example, with just one TX touch pro and one junior pro cone (set in finish mode at the 60m mark). The benefit of having a second junior pro cone, is that you can have 30m split time or that you have the possibility to also time flying sprints in your training sessions. But this is not a necessity. I hope this answered your question. Good luck with the training sessions.

Your 100% correct on both questions. For flys you don't need to take into account the 80cm detection radius. As long as the distance between the cones is the amount you want to be measured, you're good to go. As for the second question. Because the radius of the detection field is 80cm and a track and field lane has a width of 122cm's, there is +-40cm area on the outside of the lane where the chip will not be detected. However normally the athlete will run in the middle of the lane and this won't be a problem. To minimize the risk of this happening, I always instruct the athlete to wear the chip either where their buckle belt is located or on the side of their pants closest to the cone.

2 junior pro cones would definitely work if you take a small fly in zone(1m or more) into account. I would suggest going for an E-starter and a junior pro cone instead. This way you don't need the fly in zone and you can just track the time from start to finish. Hope this answers your question.

Look up the Jawku it's far cheaper. It uses your phone plus a device on your wrist

@@user-ze3sg6ix1u I checked out reviews for that and many people had issues with it and it just isn't as consistently accurate as something like Free Lap or even a cheaper option like SKLZ Speed Gates which I have personally. You can only do so much with a wrist strap and a phone whereas Pro athletes and good coaches actually use Free Lap for accurate timing. You're never gonna get truly accurate times on your wrist anyway when it's the torso that matters in races not arms or legs. Free Lap clips on the waist so that's a pretty reliable area to time consistently whereas the wrist can be 2 feet in front of the torso at times or a foot behind the torso. ***Also Jawku isn't really made to time multiple splits with accuracy either. It's better for start and finish timing. I think they have the option to add on additional timing but like I said the wrist position disparity just won't be consistent enough.

Do you have it? If so how you like it?

Of course that would work as well. You just need to place your TX touch pro or E starter, 80cm's back and place a new starting line there. It depends on your preferences if you want to let the athlete start on the official start en finish 80cm behind the finish. Or if you want finish at the official finish and pull the starting line 80cm's back. Just make sure that, if you use any extra cones for split times, that you adjust them according to the protocol you chose.

You can use the set without a starter. You would just need to set a junior pro cone in the "start" mode and make sure you start 1m behind the cone. the type of start doesn't really matter as long as you stay 1m behind the junior pro cone.

Is it reliable to get it on other sites? I found some where you can find pieces for slightly less@@Speedbasedtech

What specific features do you like more with the bower system compared to the freelap timing system? Just asking out of curiousity. Because I only worked with it once or twice and would like to get my hands on their equipment.
